Stripe Android SDK

The Stripe Financial Connections Android SDK (Beta) allows users to securely link external financial accounts to your business within an Android application.

Key features include:

• Prebuilt UI: Use FinancialConnectionsSheet to handle the entire user flow for linking accounts.
• Data Access: Retrieve tokenized account/routing numbers for ACH verification, real-time balance data, account ownership information, and transaction history.
• Use Cases: Facilitate instant bank account verification, fraud mitigation, expense tracking, and improved underwriting for credit services.

The Stripe Crypto Onramp Android SDK allows you to build a headless crypto onramp flow within your Android application. It enables customers to securely purchase and exchange cryptocurrencies while giving your app control over the majority of the UI and navigation.

An OnrampCoordinator manages the complex orchestration of the flow, including:

• Link authentication
• Know Your Customer (KYC) and identity verification
• Payment method collection
• Checkout handling

IMPORTANT

This SDK is currently in private preview. You must request access via the Stripe docs.

The Stripe Identity Example App allows you to switch between two primary integration methods:

1. Native Android SDK Flow

Uses the IdentityVerificationSheet to provide a native Android experience. This flow requires the following parameters from your backend:

• id: The ID of the VerificationSession.
• ephemeral_key_secret: An ephemeral key secret used to authorize the native session.

2. Web Redirect Flow

Opens the url provided by the VerificationSession in a Custom Tab. The user completes the identity verification process within the browser environment.

To use the Stripe Financial Connections SDK, ensure your project meets the following requirements:

• Android Version: 5.0 (API level 21) or above
• Android Gradle Plugin: 3.5.1 or above
• Gradle: 5.4.1 or above
• AndroidX: v11.0.0 or above

To use WeChat Pay as a payment method for PaymentIntent, you must add the main Stripe Android SDK, the WeChatPay module, and the specific WeChat Pay SDK to your app/build.gradle file. Ensure that the Stripe dependencies use the same $stripe_sdk_version and that you use WeChat Pay SDK version 6.7.0.

Note: This module uses reflection to invoke the WeChat Pay SDK, so you must declare the dependency even though you won't write direct code for it.

dependencies {
  // Stripe dependencies, make sure they have the same $stripe_sdk_version
  implementation 'com.stripe:stripe-android:$stripe_sdk_version' // Main Stripe SDK
  implementation 'com.stripe:stripe-wechatpay:$stripe_sdk_version' // WeChat Pay module
  // WeChat Pay SDK, make sure 6.7.0 is used
  implementation 'com.tencent.mm.opensdk:wechat-sdk-android-without-mta:6.7.0'
}

To explore Stripe Identity integration, you can run the provided example application. This app demonstrates both the native Android SDK flow and the web redirect flow.

Prerequisites

• A VerificationSession from a backend. You can use the sample backend provided in the repository or host your own.
• For custom backends, ensure you follow the guide for creating a VerificationSession.

Installation Steps

1. Clone the stripe-android repository.
2. Open the identity-example project in Android Studio.
3. Build and run the project.

To verify existing screenshots against current UI (the command used in CI), run the verifyPaparazziDebug task.

If verification fails, diff images are generated in <module-name>/out/failures. Note that these failure images are excluded from Git.

./gradlew <module-name>:verifyPaparazziDebug
